Recursive

A word describing a paradox in which a situation or event inherently repeats itself for what can only be assumed to be an infinite number of times.

Person 1: Did you see the Urban Dictionary page for recursive? It’s pretty meta!

Person 2: Yeah, but I didn’t really understand it. I think I need an example.

Person 1: Well, imagine this:

Person 1 says, “Did you see the Urban Dictionary page for recursive? It’s pretty meta!“

Then, Person 2 says, “Yeah, but I didn’t really understand it. I think I need an example.”

Recursion

Recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, where a function being defined is applied within its own definition. While this apparently defines an infinite number of instances (function values), it is often done in such a way that no loop or infinite chain of references can occur. Recursion can also describe a person of higher standing who, upon introduction, strikes thoughts along the lines of "How did he get there?"

I need to get the sword, but there are enemies in the way! It's a fucking recursion!

Recursion

Did you mean: Recursion?

Recursion is the repeated application of a recursive procedure or definition.

If you search recursion on Google, it says "Did you mean: recursion?"
